Zelenskyy announced a new round of talks with the US regarding security guarantees and the supply of air defence systems

Zelenskyy announced at the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities in Zakarpattia that Ukraine is preparing a new round of talks with the US, and representatives of the Trump team may visit Ukraine, after which they will head to Moscow.

Zelenskyy identified security guarantees as the main topic of the talks. In particular, this concerns funding for the Armed Forces of Ukraine after the end of the war, the supply of American air defence systems «that partners do not have», as well as the reaction of the US and Europe in case of a repeated invasion by the RF.

Note that Vance stated that talks to end the war in Ukraine boiled down to "bargaining for a few square kilometers of territory". This concerns control over Donetsk region, from which Russia demands the withdrawal of Ukrainian troops. According to Zelenskyy, the US is making similar demands.
